Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for two minutes.
Add the vanilla extract, egg, and egg yolk, whisking until the mixture is light and creamy.
Incorporate the flour, baking soda, corn starch, and salt, mixing gently until combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop out about 1/4 cup of cookie dough for each cookie, rolling the dough into smooth balls. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour or in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
Space the chilled cookie dough about 3 inches apart on the baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until edges are golden and the center appears slightly underbaked.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Notes

Cookies can be frozen for longer storage, just place the dough balls in a zip-top bag before chilling.
For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon to the dry ingredients.
Make sure your eggs are at room temperature for better emulsification.
